This is because the second set of images used much more of pop colors that were bright and daring. The first image seemed a little too subtle for the song which was very upbeat and electronic. The only thing that coincided between the image and the song was the little beeping noises and the dots that were derived from what appeared to be frost on the leaf. But the music accompanied the second image much better because the use of bright and almost seemingly artificial or man made colors and the decided synthasized nature of the song. As the artist in charge of the second piece (the one with the praying mantis) I didn't intend to for this music to accompany this image at all. My folio contained to senesory pieces, one for each image we abstracted. I made a soundtrack for my first image which was a picture I took of a sculpture in San Francisco. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/51091810/?qo=19&q=by:tazzasister&qh=sort:time -in:scraps The soundtrack consisted of 5 songs which led me through the various emotions that image evoked "L'Orage" or "The Storm" in French was the closing song as the absractions of my image be came less harsh and much more organic and comforting. The sensory piece for the Mantis abstraction (seen in the video) was actually a tiny bouquet of jasmine flowers wraped in a sandalwood scented bow because the image conjured an exotic feeling and those are scents I associate with exotic things. But as artists we rarely get to explain our work and half of the beauty is left in another's interpretation. I will admit that the video presentation with that as the music worked very well.
